DealsEggscellent Easter deluxe deals
2013 two-CD deluxe of The Allman Brothers Band classic 1973 album adds a bonus disc of previously unreleased rehearsals and outtakes. Just £3.99
Two-CD deluxe edition of Faith No More‘s 1992 album Angel Dust a 17-track CD of B-sides, live recordings, covers and rarities. Just £6.99 (The Real Thing deluxe is the same price).
On tour in the UK at the moment, a-ha‘s latest, Cast in Steel, includes six bonus tracks in deluxe guise and is available for £7.00 at present.
Unfortunately 2014’s super deluxe box is out-of-print and expensive, but you can pick up the two-CD deluxe of Tears For Fears‘ Songs From The Big Chair for less than a fiver, at the moment.
It may have been free originally via the controversial iTunes debacle, but you’re better off owning U2‘s Songs of Innocence as this two-CD deluxe, especially as it costs less than £4.00 and the five-track bonus disc is more generous than it sounds, since one is labelled ‘acoustic sessions’ and is actually six tracks in one.
Well packaged two-CD deluxe version of Queen Forever features three brand new Queen tracks (including the “long-anticipated” track by Queen and Michael Jackson, There Must Be More To Life Than This) and Queen hits, classic tracks etc. Best of all it’s less than £7.
The 18-track deluxe version of Morrissey‘s last, World Peace Is None of Your Business can be yours for less than £6 at the moment.
Blondie‘s 2014 album Ghosts of Download was interesting for two reasons. Firstly it’s quite good (Sugar on the Side, A Rose By Any Name, and I Want To Drag You Around are all excellent) and secondly it contains a bonus-disc of spot-the-difference re-recordings of the band’s greatest hits. It’s also only five pounds.
Duran Duran‘s 11th studio album was offered in a confusing array of deluxe editions but the ‘standard’ UK deluxe with three bonus tracks (Planet Roaring, Valentine Stones and Northern Lights) is less than £8 right now.
I’ve been really enjoying St Vincent‘s 2014 album in its standard form (her collaboration with David Byrne is also worthy of investigation), so will probably pick-up this deluxe edition for around £6.50

I have a spare copy of the TFF Big Chair Super Deluxe if you want to buy it Paul!
I do.
Thx, Paul. I bought the Morrissey LP atRecord Archive in Rochester NY USA, liked it so much , thought about recording it for car, now for cheap I get 6 extra songs, awesome!
i bought the deluxe Songs Of Innocence on the week of release, despite the freebie off of iTunes. i, like i would think all here, prefer to pay for music that i can hold rather than just listen to it for free.
the extra disc is excellent – as Paul says, six tracks but one is some 30 mins long as it’s a few songs together. wish they had separated them, but hey ho.
as for the album, after No Line On The Horizon was the sound of a band that had absolutely nothing more to say, it’s very impressive. no Joshua or Achtung, but some great music and fantastic lyrics.
Thanks,
Allmann Brothers and Faith no more for me.
Just orderd both Faith no more cds , great easter present 30 dollars to Australia
An egg pun? Really?
I know it wasn’t that bunny.
Ach I’ll let it pass.
SFTBC box set is still available on Discogs for less than fifty quid.
I thought that Morrissey CD was out of print a long time ago after harvest scrapped it and dumped Morrissey?
well, it’s less than a couple of years old and it could well be that it’s just old stock someone is clearing out?
No, not buying any Universal release until they lower the price of Grace Jone’s Warm Leatherette.
